 The Justice Department filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against Apple
(AAPL), alleging that the tech giant illegally maintains its dominance
over its iPhone ecosystem by boxing out competing services from other
companies.

What utter nonsense. It's not like any other company is any different, and apart from a few loud-mouthed morons who want to fill their own pockets at Apple's expense, nobody gives a flying crap that you can only install iOS apps from teh Apple App Store.
Epic, Google, etc. were whining on about how Apple charges too much in fees for their app store, and then has pretty much the same thing for developers wanting to use their store ... and why are they charging the same? Simply *because* Apple does, so they equal it rather than actually trying to compete. Just like every other business segment - there is no real "competition" on prices because they all simply match each other for the same price.  :-\
